some more info :
if I run the backup for just one share, then it works fine
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/'
];
as soon as I add a second share, the errors start
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/',
'/boot'
];
I tried with and without checksum-seed with the same results.
It seems as though this only happens with hosts that I have changed the
share name around.
Thanks

Hi,
I have recently setup a linux server that runs Ubuntu. I am trying to setup backuppc to backup about 5 windows (XP) machines in my lab onto the server. I was able to download backuppc using the synoptic package manager and I believe it is even installed. The hard part has been configuring it work.
I noticed a backuppc text file on the desktop that provided a username and password to access the web interface for backup. But that gives me an error and I am guessing it is because I haven't configured anything yet.
I am NOT proficient in linux at all. All the instructions on the sourceforge.net website (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html) seem to assume advanced knowledge of linux commands which I do not have. Simply put, I am lost.
I would love to spend time learning linux but I don't have the time. I am just a student charged with the task of backuping the PCs in our lab.
Can you suggest what to do? Any documentation available that would help people who are using the ubuntu GUI to setup backup pc?
